X Roads 2 Prospect 1
X Roads put the handcuffs on yesterday at Garrison Field to maintain top spot in standings.
But first the had to come from behind to erase Brendon Harris’ first-half strike before netting twice in the space of seven minutes to keep their unbeaten overall and home record intact.
The visitors, also beaten by the odd goal in their season-opener against Somerset Eagles, appeared to have lady luck on their side and seemingly destined for better fortunes when Harris’ wind-assisted corner kick curled into goal minutes prior to the half.
However, X Roads finally shifted out of first gear and equalised through an unmarked Devon Rogers who made no mistake from close range.
Alfred Wolfe then settled the issue from the penalty spot seven minutes from time to assure X Roads remained perched atop the tables for another week.
